According to Reports, Manchester United’s target Fermin Lopez says he would like to stay at Barcelona despite reported transfer interest from English giants this summer.
The young Barcelona academy graduate made an important step up into Barcelona’s first-team during the 2023/24 season, contributing 11 goals and one assist in 42 matches.
Fermin Lopez was rewarded with a maiden Spain call-up prior to this summer’s European Championships and was named in their final squad heading to Germany.
He made his debut for La Roja in a warm-up game with Andorra but is yet to make an appearance at Euro 2024.
Sources told Footyvaild that Manchester United offered £25.4m (€30m) to sign Fermin Lopez earlier this month, but Barcelona rejected the bid as reported.
Meanwhile, in an interview with a Spanish outfit, Lopez reaffirmed his commitment to Barcelona and responded to claims that he will be offered a new contract.
“I hope [a contract renewal] can happen,” Lopez said. “For me, Barca is the dream that I have had since I was little and now I can fulfil it. I hope I can spend many years at Barca.”
Footyvaild reporters Understands that, the Catalan giants aren’t thought to be interested in selling up and knocked back the bid from United, maintaining it would take an enormous sum for them to even consider giving up on the academy product.
